Artwork description

To anyone suffering from an over-eating disorder- I see you, and I am you. You are not alone. Food becomes an addiction, an addiction that is legal, an addiction that sends you into a void that cannot be filled no matter how much you eat. “Food has been my friend, it can’t hurt me” but indeed it can. Focusing is hard when all I can think about is food, or how hungry I am when I haven’t eaten in a couple of hours; it feels like a moth frantically flying through the air just to get a glimpse of light, only to find itself ingulfed in darkness, obsessed, distressed, lost.

I hold a balloon, that is my hope- I gaze upon the madness of the cravings from a hill looking down. I want to let go of my balloon and run to the bread, the cheeses and the sweets, but I can’t. I have to hold onto my balloon and remain strong. I must protect my balloon at all costs-the balloon is my hope. Hope to win over the monster of food addiction.
